a To aZZ whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, DAVID TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Denver, the city and county of Denverand 5 State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paints; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which'it appertains to make and use the same. y

This invention relates to improvements in paints and has s ecial reference to paints to be used on al outside exposed metal works and in places exposed to gas or acid fumes.

Those versedin the art ofpainting know that the paints used at present do not last when exposed to the elements or to acid fumes. This is especially true where the paint is used on outside metal surfaceswhere rust takes place and deterioratesthe paint. I have found that a paint prepared in accordance with the following formula will resist acid, gas and the elements to a greater extent than any other paint known to me and is especially adapted to be used on'all outside and exposed metal surfaces, as it resists and prevents rust.

My improved paint is made in accordance with the following formula:

Percent.

Linseed oil 111/9 Red lead 162/3 Mineral red 16 2/3 Cement (Portland) 25/9 Asbestos powder 12/3 Turpentine 2 0 Zinc 11/3 Chill room paint 48 Application filed October 6, 1924. Serial No. 742,066.

These ingredients are mixed and thor- 1oughly stirred so as to form a thorough mixure.

By mineralred is meant red pigment of an inorganic nature such as Indian red and Venetian red as distinguished from red pigments of organic origin such as, the lakes.

The part referred to as chill room paint is a mixture compounded in accordance with the following formula:

The pigments are composed of the followmg:

. Percent. Lithopone a 55 Zinc oxide 40 Silica 5 while the vehicle consists of the following ingredients mixed, as follows:

This mixture is then added to the formula given above'in the proportion indicated.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new is: y

A paint, comprising, in combination, linseed oil, a lead compound, asbestos powder, Portland cement, zinc and chill room paint.

' 'In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
